When you feel so ill youâve made peace with death and are weeping from pain or discomfort and wallowing in the deepest well of self-pity and fearing youâll never feel okay again throw a soft âmommyâ out there. Itâs kinda like meditation in acknowledging how hellish you feel and that your mom would probably make you feel better if she was there (I mean I donât know your mom I only know my mom) and kinda helps you accept the situation and that like all previous illnesses this too will pass (probably) and this is just how it feels right now and pretending it isnât as bad as it is just makes it worse. Calling out for mommy just kinda recognizes how low you feel and makes it easier to keep feeling bad for yourself and sometimes the best way to get over a virus is to wallow on the sofa remembering to drink clear fluids every now and again feeling like the unluckiest person in the world. Have not tried this around roommates or other people so cannot extend the recommendation to all living situations.

Your best friend has work all day and is feeling a strange feeling but doesnât have time to call the doctor? Call the doc for her and set up an appointment!
Your other best friend has a med thatâs out of stock at her local CVS and works 80 hours a week? Call around to some CVSs for her and ask which locations might have the meds in stock.
Your momâs tailbone hurts and sheâs busy taking care of her husband, working, and crying herself to a night of interrupted sleep from the pain? Call her pain management doc and tell them all about it in elaborate detail, tell them sheâs your mom and youâre worried and ask to be put on a cancellation list or given literally any earlier appointment. Also bring her some soup, do some chores for her, and take some errands off her plate if possible.
Calling docs for the people you love is a love language đ«

Today I called my mom because my life feels really out of control right now. Iâve been trying to do it all by myself but today I broke down. Today I felt like I couldnât fight anymore. This is what she said to me:
âI love you. I know who you are. You know who you are. Everything is fine. I will always be here with you.â

crucial survival tip. not everyone is lucky to have their mom in their lives. maybe they passed or they can barely take care of themselves let alone you or youâve been estranged from them for over a decade because they are very scary narcissist... whatever the case - just because you donât have one around, it doesnât mean you canât be soft and gentler to yourself and create your own safe space that attempts to fill the void because we all need warmth and nurturing

Believing the rest of your life can start today (but not succumbing to the weight of that, which Iâve yet to figure out how to do).

I love being a barista because it is so fun to not pay for coffee and taste horrifying extractions and bizarre customer creations (extra sweet caramel single shot breve iced) and take home what we canât sell to customers. Behold the darkness of week old cold brew concentrate! A true depth of darkness only understood in certain light, black as midnight on a moonless night! Yum yum canât wait have it with breakfast and feel each blood vessel moving through every artery!

I donât know if this applies to everyone as we seem to be peak hustle culture to survive the gig economy but I have a lot of free time, so much free time itâs overwhelming, that I pander in all sorts of unhelpful ways. Just saw something about someone who makes exquisite jewelry in their free time, it not being their day job, and am having a long hard think about how tired I really am when I claim to be too tired to work on the thing I claim to want to doâŠI also think about kids my age getting married and who may start having kids in the next few years (aside from the ones who already have) and how much of a time drain that is and how some day Iâll probably look back on this point and think I was swimming in time. Would probably help to start on the phone addiction firstâŠSometimes I think itâs possible Iâm not as tired as I am, like focusing on how tired I am, trying to measure exactly how heavy my bones feel, only amplifies my tiredness into perceived exhaustion and maybe if I didnât think about it so much it wouldnât be as real as I let it, like the cold in winter.
